Body Measurements Tracker

A Django web application for tracking and managing body measurements over time. This application allows users to record, monitor, and visualize their body measurements, making it easier to track fitness progress or body changes.

Features

• User authentication and personal accounts
• Record and track multiple body measurements
• English and Polish language support (i18n)
• Secure data storage
• Responsive UI (Bootstrap 5)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• pip

Local Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <your-repository-url>
cd body_measurements

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Create a .env file (see .env.sample) in the project root with:

DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
DJANGO_DEBUG=True
EMAIL_HOST_USER=your_email@gmail.com
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your_email_app_password

5. Run database migrations:

python manage.py migrate

6. Create a superuser (admin account):

python manage.py createsuperuser

7. Start the development server:

python manage.py runserver

The application will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Environment Variables

• DJANGO_SECRET_KEY: Django secret key
• DJANGO_DEBUG: 'True' for development, 'False' for production
• DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS: Comma-separated list of hosts (default allows localhost and .pythonanywhere.com)
• DJANGO_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS: Comma-separated origins with scheme (default includes https://*.pythonanywhere.com)
• EMAIL_HOST_USER / EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD: Optional for password reset emails. If unset in production, a dummy email backend is used to avoid runtime errors.

Deployment (PythonAnywhere)

1. Create a virtualenv and install:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set environment variables in the Web app (Environment section):

• DJANGO_SECRET_KEY (required)
• DJANGO_DEBUG=False
• DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS=yourusername.pythonanywhere.com
• Optional: EMAIL_HOST_USER, EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD

3. Configure WSGI to point to this project (module: body_measurements.wsgi).

4. Run migrations and create a superuser from a Bash console:

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser

5. Collect static files and map them:

python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

• In the Web tab, add a Static file mapping: URL /static/ → path shown as STATIC_ROOT (see body_measurements/settings.py).

6. Reload the web app.

Troubleshooting

• DisallowedHost or 400: set DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS to your domain.
• CSRF verification failed: add https://yourusername.pythonanywhere.com to DJANGO_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS.
• ImportError: python-dotenv: ensure pip install -r requirements.txt ran (dotenv is required by settings).
• No such table / migrations: run python manage.py migrate in your virtualenv.
• Static files 404: run collectstatic and configure the static mapping in the Web tab.
• Email errors: either set EMAIL_HOST_USER/EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD or rely on the default dummy backend in production.
